Levity’s Josh Tarum Is Officially A Doctor
Levity’s Josh Tarum is officially a doctor after balancing medical school with Levity’s rapid rise in the bass music scene
Levity’s Josh Tarum is officially a doctor, adding a rare real-life milestone to one of bass music’s fastest-rising stories. While Levity were moving from their Electric Forest 2023 breakout into major festival bookings and a growing fanbase, Josh Tarum was also completing medical school in the middle of the group’s rise. As one-third of the trio alongside John Hauldren and PJ Carberry, Josh has long been part of Levity’s creative core, even during the periods when the group appeared live as a duo because of his studies. With medical school now complete, the “Dr. Levity” nickname has become more than a running joke, giving the group’s story a crossover between bass music, medical training, and a level of discipline rarely seen in electronic music.

Josh Tarum’s Creighton Medical School Milestone
Josh Tarum’s doctor milestone is tied directly to Creighton University School of Medicine, where the university’s 2026 Omaha Graduate and Professional Program places him under Doctor of Medicine. The entry appears under his full name, Joshua James Canto Tarum, with Eagan, Minnesota as his hometown, giving the story a confirmed medical-school record beyond the “Dr. Levity” nickname now spreading across social media. The medical record continues through a public Doximity profile for Josh Tarum, MD in Family Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska, which adds another layer to the story without making the nickname sound like an official title. For Levity, that confirmation matters because Josh was completing this path while the trio were moving through the same years that turned them from an Electric Forest breakout into one of bass music’s most talked-about rising acts.
For Levity, the milestone carries more context because Josh Tarum’s medical school schedule had already become part of how the trio operated during their breakout years. Earlier coverage noted that John Hauldren and PJ Carberry often handled live appearances as a duo while Josh continued contributing to the project behind the scenes, even though Levity remained a three-member act. That setup meant his medical path was not separate from the group’s rise; it was happening during the same stretch that followed their Electric Forest 2023 breakout and brought them into wider conversation across the bass music scene. With medical school now complete, Josh’s achievement adds a rare layer to Levity’s story because it connects the pressure of medical training with the demands of building a touring electronic music project.
Levity’s Rise Since Their Electric Forest Breakout
Levity’s rise since Electric Forest 2023 has become a key part of why Josh Tarum’s doctor milestone carries more weight now. The trio’s breakout started when John Hauldren, PJ Carberry, and Josh Tarum arrived at Electric Forest as fans and were asked the same day to fill in at the Honeycomb Stage, turning an unexpected festival slot into the moment that introduced them to a wider bass music audience. From there, Levity kept gaining traction through tracks like Flip It, which later passed 12 million Spotify streams, while artists such as Zeds Dead, LSDREAM, Subtronics, and John Summit brought their music into more live sets. Their name has since appeared across major festival spaces including EDC Las Vegas, Coachella’s Do LaB, Lollapalooza, and North Coast, making the group’s rise much bigger than a single viral festival story.
By the time Josh Tarum completed medical school, Levity were already backed by Ultra Records, signed to Position Music for publishing, and working with a team that includes 2+2 Management and Wasserman Music/Primary Talent. Those details matter because Josh was finishing his full-time medical studies while the trio’s calendar, releases, and audience were all expanding at the same time. John Hauldren and PJ Carberry often handled live appearances as a duo during that period, but earlier coverage made it clear that Josh remained part of Levity while contributing behind the scenes. Now that medical school is complete, his place in the group comes with a fuller context: Levity’s rise was not only about festival clips, touring, and fan support, but also about a three-member project finding a way to keep moving while one member was completing one of the most demanding academic paths outside music.
What Josh Tarum’s Doctor Milestone Adds To Levity’s Story
Josh Tarum’s doctor milestone gives Levity’s story a detail that is rare in electronic music, but it does not pull the focus away from the trio’s rise. If anything, it makes the group’s past few years feel even more unusual because Levity were handling the pressure of a fast-moving breakout, larger festival demand, and a growing fanbase while one member was still completing medical school. That context gives more weight to the periods when John Hauldren and PJ Carberry appeared live as a duo, since Josh’s absence from certain stages was never a sign that he was outside the project. It was part of how the trio had to function while keeping Levity active through one of the most important stretches of their career.
Now that medical school is complete, Josh Tarum’s place in Levity comes back into focus at a time when the group are no longer being discussed only through their breakout story. Levity have continued releasing through Ultra Records, signed a publishing deal with Position Music, and expanded their live identity through the Lasership shows, including sold-out dates at The Shrine and The Eastern. Their next chapter also includes the Tape B x Levity Summer Program co-headline run, which places the trio in a bigger touring frame after years of fan-led support and festival momentum. For Levity, Josh becoming a doctor adds another layer to a story already tied to timing, community, and one unexpected festival opportunity, showing how the trio kept moving while one-third of the group was completing a path most people would treat as a full-time life on its own.
With medical school now complete, the “Dr. Levity” moniker feels less like a joke and more like a fitting marker for a story that has always been unusual. Josh Tarum became a doctor while Levity were becoming one of bass music’s most talked-about rising acts, making his milestone not just a personal achievement, but another defining detail in the trio’s rapid rise.

From Creamfields raver to APEX, Hannah Laing comes full circle with a 2027 English festival exclusive 15 years after first attending the festival
Creamfields will celebrate its 30th anniversary in Daresbury from August 26–29, 2027, marking three decades as one of the UK’s biggest electronic dance music festivals. As the lineup continues to take form, Hannah Laing has been confirmed to play APEX on August 28 as an English festival exclusive. The booking adds another major name to the anniversary weekend. For Hannah Laing, however, it also has a personal connection to a festival that has been part of her story for years.
From Camping At Creamfields To Playing Its Stages
Hannah Laing’s connection to Creamfields started as a festivalgoer, not an artist. She first attended in 2012, then kept returning and camping with friends while building her name in Scotland. By 2019, she had crossed from the crowd onto the festival lineup for the first time. She already knew Creamfields from years of attending, which made that first booking personal in a completely different way.

The bigger turning point came in 2022, when she opened Patrick Topping’s Trick stage. Hannah Laing has spoken about worrying that an early slot might mean an empty stage. Instead, the crowd quickly grew into the thousands, with many travelling down from Scotland to see her. She was still balancing DJing and producing with her job as a dental nurse. Seeing that level of support at one of the UK’s biggest dance festivals showed how far her audience had grown.
The years since have changed where Hannah Laing now stands as an artist, but Creamfields has remained part of several important points in her career. Her 2027 APEX appearance brings that history back to the festival she once attended and camped at with friends. This time, she returns during its 30th anniversary edition.

How Far Hannah Laing Has Come Since 2022
Since that Creamfields breakthrough, Hannah Laing has gone from balancing DJing with her dental nursing job to touring full time. Her international profile has grown considerably along the way. Her music has also become more closely linked with the harder side of dance music, drawing from hard house, trance and techno. That fast-paced sound first helped her gain a following in Scotland and has continued through her more recent releases and sets.
Doof And Her Growing International Career
A major part of that growth has come through Doof, the brand she launched around her own events and releases. Doof In The Park has since become one of the strongest examples of how far her audience now reaches beyond club shows. Her touring schedule has grown alongside it, with appearances at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, TRNSMT, Parklife and BBC Radio 1 Dance Weekend.
Tracks such as “Good Love” with RoRo have also introduced Hannah Laing to a much wider audience. The track became one of her biggest crossover moments and added another major step to a career already growing quickly through live shows. Since then, she has continued releasing music while taking on bigger festival bookings in the UK and overseas.
With Creamfields 2027 still ahead, Hannah Laing’s booking stands out as one of the more personal announcements tied to the anniversary edition. The festival has followed different stages of her career for 15 years, from attending as a raver to playing APEX as an English festival exclusive.

Joseph Capriati first introduced Metamorfosi at Amnesia Ibiza in 2022 with three dates. The residency expanded to five dates in 2023 and eight in 2024, giving Capriati more opportunities to curate lineups across house and techno.
By 2025, Metamorfosi had reached a 14-date season at Hï Ibiza. Another 14-date schedule followed in 2026, by which point the concept had grown from three individual dates into a weekly Ibiza residency.
